I want to know if the same email will have the same IMAP UID on different

served by dovecot respectively.
No, sync'ing does not include the UID.
The UID is server-depended and may change across IMAP sessions, reflected
by the change of UIDVALIDITY of the folder.
However, Dovecot stores the UIDs in dovecot-uidlist files in each mailbox
folder, so you could patch offlineimap to synchronize that file with the
UIDs from the source IMAP server. But I think will get you other trouble.
